Established in 1853 by an American abroad in France, Aigle (the French word for "eagle") is credited with revolutionizing the footwear industry with its introduction of the rubber boot. Famous for its craftsmanship and unconditional attention to detail (each pair of boots is made entirely by hand today, just as it was over 150 years ago), Aigle boots, including this classic kids' rain boot, are made from an exceptionally durable all-natural rubber and are cotton lined for comfort. Rubber sole. Import. Catalog/crewcutkids.com only.
